Biography
Clemens Legolas Telling—known as Clemens and MC Clemens—built a career spanning hip-hop, musical theatre, and television in Denmark. Born 8 October 1979 in Roskilde, he began as a DJ in 1989, winning freestyle prizes as MC Clemens. His 1997 debut Regnskabets Time found commercial success, followed by Den Anden Verden (1999), which earned him a Grammy for Best Hip Hop Album and an Arts Foundation grant. In 1999 he toured Denmark, Sweden, Finland, and Norway alongside Swedish rapper Petter. His 2001 album Professionel Bla Bla won Best Hip Hop Hit recognition from Danish radio station P3. A 2006 Japan tour showcased over 40 shows, and he returned to the charts in 2010 with a #1 hit "Champion" on Tracklisten, Denmark's official singles chart.
Beyond recording, Clemens wrote lyrics for multiple theatrical productions: a breakdance version of Nøddeknækkeren (The Nutcracker) performed annually from 2004 to 2008, the musical Matador in 2007 directed by Peter Langdal, and most lyrics for the piece 69 in 2008 directed by Niclas Bendixen. Both Matador and Nøddeknækkeren were released on DVD in late 2008 and 2009 respectively. He appeared as a supporting character in the television series Anna Pihl and collaborated with rock/rap band Die Dumme Dänen. As a Libra born in 1979, his life-path number 8 suggests a drive toward mastery and authority—traits visible in his competitive freestyle wins and chart dominance.
